QoS Techniques: MPLS
CET 2486C – Network Technologies
Professor:
November 27, 2012
Abstract
MPLS or Multi Protocol Label Switching is a networking technology that functions between layers 2 and 3 of the OSI model. MPLS constitutes of adding a label (sometimes called “Shim” because of their placement between layer 3 and layer 2 headers.) to the data package, this label contains special addressing and sometimes prioritization information. Because the MPLS label contains all the information necessary for the router to forward the package to the next hop, the router does not have to spend time analyzing the entire package thus improving network latency or bottlenecks. Due to its multi protocol capabilities MPLS can be integrated with different networking technologies from ATM to native IP environments; in addition, this multi protocol capability also provides a way to converge different types of traffic such as data, voice and video onto one network. MPLS technology also provides some other advantageous features like Traffic Engineering (TE), VPN, Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) and Quality of Service (QoS). This paper will help provide an understanding of how MPLS works and the QoS capabilities it can provide.
History of MPLS
In 1996 a group from Ipsilon Networks introduced a “flow management protocol”, this technology only worked with ATM transmissions and did not become very popular in the market. Not long after Cisco...

Societal corruption can be shown through Animalistic Behaviors. Thesis: In the classic novel Animal Farm, the author, George Orwell shows how societal corruption can occur through propaganda, pride, and hypocrisy. The book opens with a rebellion being led by the cows on the farm as they fought for their rights and better treatment. This rebellion began with secret meetings being held with all the animals on the farm. Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer, who led the secret meetings, used the term “Animalism” as a reference to the teachings of Old Major. Old Major was a pig who dreamt of a rebellion against the farmers, which would leave the animals in charge. These early meetings led by three pigs (Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer), were the early stages of using propaganda to rally and organize the animals of the farm. The use of the term “Animalism” provided a simple and direct message to support the propaganda.
Orwell uses references to communism throughout the book. His experiences and observations of communism and communist rule helped form the basis of the book. In one particular instance, Squealer uses propaganda to persuade the other animals that the milk and apples provide nutritional benefit to the pigs. He states that it has been “proved by science” that apples and milk benefit the pigs. He further uses misleading statements about the possible return of Mr. Jones to the farm...

...Gulliver sets sail again. This time, he is shipwrecked on the peninsula-type land of Brobdingnag, an opposite world from Lilliput. In this country, Gulliver is the Lilliputian and everyone is a giant to him. With such a microscopic view into humanity, Gulliver discovers the grotesque nature of human beings, both physically and spiritually. Although he is loved by his nursemaid, Glumdalclitch, and the King and Queen, Gulliver eventually seeks companionship of his own kind. Furthermore, he fears for his life, after a constant array of brushes with death. As he plans a method of escape, a large bird picks up his wooden home and carries it over sea where the bird drops it onto the water. Gulliver floats in it for days until he is rescued by an English ship. Nobody believes his stories, at first. However, when Gulliver presents souvenirs from the land, they believe him and commend him on his journeys.
Gulliver revisits his home, and much to his family's chagrin, decides to leave home once again to satisfy the urge of exploration that plagues his soul. On board at sea, his ship is taken captive by pirates. Gulliver manages to escape to land. However, as soon as he discovers the new land, he is pulled up to a flying floating island that hovers above ground. On the floating island of Laputa, Gulliver meets the Laputans who run their world thought mathematics and science, and allow their land to be dictated by a giant lodestone at the center of the island....

Religions In China
Christianity
Active in asia for centuries
Philippines almost entirely christian
Very influential with millions of followers
Korea most influenced
Pacific islands largely committed to christian tradition
Shito
Emerged in earliest period of Japanese history
Originally animalistic religion that gave human form to various gods that rule the forces of nature
Similar traditions in southeast asia and african groups
puts emphasis on “awe”
sun goddess, Amaterasu, sent her decedents to further create the japanese islands
loosely organized
stayed dormant for centuries
revival in 19th century
Islam
Large communities found in south asia and western china
emerged in the 7th century
most theology shared with judaism and christianity
the holy text is the Qur’an. It has 114 chapters
Confucianism
Mose social philosophy than religion
founder not interested in “supernatural” stuff
developed a new theory of nobility based on “merit” rather than birth
Merit = single-mined commitment to “nurturing” a “truly noble” heart.
emphasis on education to elevate the human soul
later more emphasis on virtue from the study of various writings known as the 5 classics
China was influenced heavily by this movement
Buddhism
One of the strongest religions throughout east and southeast asia

...﻿How much fresh water is used by Americans daily?
trillion gallons
Identify three causes of water pollution.
sewage, chemical waste, pesticide runoff
Smog is composed of which chemicals?
carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur dioxide
Smog, combined with precipitation, results in what harmful effect?
acid rain
How is burying and burning waste harmful to the environment?
Burying waste causes toxic chemicals to leech into the ground water. Burning waste causes toxic ash, which pollutes the air and falls back to Earth as rain or snow.
List two ways individuals can help combat pollution.
Individuals can help combat pollution by recycling and reusing materials
What are two important components of population growth?
natural increase and migration
How does migration affect certain populations?
Migration can affect the size and composition of a population.
Why should population be tracked?
Population can have a direct effect on quality of life, particularly in poorer countries.
Provide one example of how social problems are connected to population problems.
One example is social security programs in advanced nations. When the fertility rate is down, there is a larger elderly population. If there are fewer younger workers than older retired people, then there will not be enough incoming money to fund social programs like a public pension system for the elderly.
When was the time of the largest population growth?
the mid-twentieth century...

Plot
Plot- is a series of related events, like links in a chain. Each event hooks our curiosity and pulls us forward to the next event.
Basic Situation- First part of a plot also known as Exposition, This is the opening of the story, when the characters and their conflict are introduced.
Exposition- also known as the Basic Situation
External Conflict- the struggle takes place between two characters, between a character and a group, or between a character and something nonhuman—a typhoon or a computer virus, for example.
Internal Conflict- takes place within a character’s mind or heart: A desire to win someone’s friendship might conflict with a fear or rejection.
Complication- The second part of a plot, Main character takes some action to resolve the conflict but meets with more problems or complications: danger, hostility, fear, or even a new threatening situation.
Climax- The third part of a story, the key scene in the story — that tense or exciting or terrifying moment when our emotional involvement is greatest.
Resolution- The final part of a story, sometimes called the Denouement. The resolution occurs at the end of the story.
